The Wellbeing Journey begins

11/01/2021

One of the early adopters is Rev'd Crystal McAllister, a pioneer minister working with six Anglican Churches and two Methodist Chapels in the parish of Upper Wreake (Melton Mowbray Leicestershire). She also supports lay pioneers across Leicester Diocese with a special focus on more than 100 churches in two deaneries and says, ‘The joy of being in lockdown has been my meetings on zoom with new Fresh Expressions of Church (fxC) communities emerging. I am in the process of starting up a chaplaincy in two Further Education campuses. Wellbeing is key at this present time.’

The Wellbeing Journey is presented by Simon Thomas (Prime Video Sport/ Sky Sports/ Blue Peter) and Joanna Adeyinka-Burford (BBC, Channel 5, Nickelodeon), with contributions from experts and Bible teachers like psychologist Dr Roger Bretherton, Principal Lecturer for Enterprise in the School of Psychology at the University of Lincoln, and Will van der Hart, Associate Vicar at St Dionis Parsons Green, in London, who is one of the directors of the Mind and Soul Foundation.

Here is a video of Will van der Hart talking about limiting the impact of Covid-19.
